Convenience.

Order food on my phone and they walk it out to my car while I'm listening to ads on the radio. Win, win for everyone.

And I have the McD's app so locked down I'm surprised they actually let me order food.

But is it convenient? Really? I've tried this stuff and it's been without exception a subpar and slow experience. I can see how it could be a great experience, it's just that it's always contracted out, framework upon framework shovelware. ad infested if you're lucky.

The only upside I can find, and it correlates with what crowd is positive, that it suits those that really want to avoid human interaction.
